...Recording, analysing and using HR information. Amanda Dingli Student number: 284483 Unit number 3RAI Recording, analysing and using HR information Lecturer - Amanda Williams 2nd February 2015 Activity 1. The aim of this briefing note is to review the organisation’s approach to collecting, storing and using HR data. Two reasons why Outlook Expeditions needs to collect HR data are: * To ensure compliance with legal requirements by keeping employees personal and employment details recorded and kept up to date and stored for a specified number of years. * To ensure that decisions relating to redundancies, training and recruitment of staff can be made based upon the information that is held on file. Two types of data that are collected within Outlook Expeditions are: * Information relating to absences which helps managers to monitor the number and type of absences each employee takes using the Bradford Factor guidelines and implements any action that is necessary. * Employment details, contract terms, pay and hours. This ensures that all employees have the minimum legal requirements in line with the National Minimum Wage Act 1998. Two methods of storing information are: Electronic files Each employee has an individual electronic file which is saved on a network drive and backed up each evening. The backup is essential as it reduces the potential for permanent loss of data files. The benefit of storing the data this way is that there is instant access...

Purpose 2. Background 3. Current Status 4. Key Considerations 5. Options 6. Conclusions and Recommendations Activity 1 1. Purpose The purpose of this briefing is to inform the Director about a review of Brenikov’s approach to collecting, storing and using HR data. 2. Background The review was requested by the HR Director joining Brenikovs to ensure that it’s compliant with The Data Protection Act 1998 and The Freedom of Information Act 2000, the two main pieces of UK legislation covering the collecting, storage and use of data in the UK. 3. Current Status Currently the Freedom of Information Act does not apply to Brenikovs as it’s not publicly funded. Brenikov Training does need to ensure compliance with The Data Protection Act as it currently collects HR Data to assist with strategic planning and to ensure compliance with legislation (Rights to Work). Brenikovs currently collects and analyses data on employee absence to identify any trends and allow the HR team to actively put in place working practices to minimise disruption. It also collects data on DBS checks as part of the recruitment procedures to ensure compliance with safeguarding and child protection legislation. 4. Key Considerations The information Brenikovs collects...

...data. 1.1 Explain why an organisation needs to collect and record HR data Organisations need data as a point of reference or to be able to retrieve information whenever it is needed. Every organisation should keep accurate records and information on their employees in order to be able to use this information for planning ahead for the business. Organisations also need data as a legal requirement. HR data collection enables an organisation to measure against it supporting workforce planning, monitoring progress and development, developing initiatives for generic cases.

Data collection enables the management team to make informed decisions about future activity. 1.2 Identify the range of HR data that organisations collect and how this supports HR practice Collecting and analysing data can support HR practices to meet the goals and objectives of the organisation. ...

...Victoria Clark Recording, Analysing and using HR information. Activity A Deliver information on Data management. Reasons why Organisations need to collect HR data.Organisations need data as a point of reference or to be able to retrieve information whenever it is needed. For example, each organisation has to keep accurate records or information of their employees in order to be able to use this information for planning ahead for the business. Also accurate records of employees are kept in order to help the organisation make precise decisions whenever queries arise in relation to each employee on a case by case basis.Organisations also need data as a legal requirement. For instance, in order to be able to make accurate tax returns to the government then the organisation will need to store certain data for each employee. Also for payroll purposes personal details of employees need to be kept. Other reasons organisations keep data is to make it available to employees such information like the organisation structure, company policy and the HR Handbook which is may be useful as a point of reference for employees as well.Types of data to be collected: 1, Contact details: The contact details for each employee especially home addresses. This is essential if correspondence need to be sent out to each employee, such as contracts, pay slips, pensions or leave information. It is important for each employee to receive the appropriate communication and not to be ignored 2, Sickness...

...1. Explain why an organisation needs to collect and record HR data. Reasons why organisations collect data To meet legal requirements: • Checking that each employee is eligible to work in the UK • Ensuring that the Company is complying with any governing body e.g. FCA • Making sure that processes such as grievances, disciplinary, maternity etc. are performed in the correct manner. To help make informed decisions: • Understanding whether the company needs to expand and what skills they will need • Looking at where redundancies might be made • Using benchmarking to make sure that employees are paid at a competitive rate To identify areas of growth: • Looking at demographics and understanding where products sell best • Understanding what skills are needed to hit the target market and what skills current employees need to improve to increase productivity 2. Identify the range of HR data that organisations collect and how this supports HR practice. Range of HR data that organisations collect Exit Interviews Exit interviews enable HR to understand why an employee is leaving the Company. The HR department are then able to analyse the data and implement necessary changes i.e. it might be that the manager of that area needs additional management training or that Company are not paying competitively and a benchmarking exercise would be useful. By looking at this data the organisation can limit the number of employees leaving...

...legal trouble. One such case happened in Southern California a year ago when a driver was pulled over and cited for speeding and distracted driving because she was using Google Glass. She took the case to court and both citations were later dropped. Another case took place in Columbus, Ohio at the beginning of 2014 when a gentleman was pulled out of an AMC movie theater and taken into custody by the federal agents. He was informed that there were incidents of people illegally recording movies at that venue and later was let go. As these cases illustrate, there are not many current regulations that apply to the use of these devices. Most states have a law that states that individuals cannot be recorded without their consent; however these mostly apply to private settings. There is no expectation of privacy in the street or park or any other public area as evidenced in a case that took place earlier this year when a man was photographing women who were wearing skirts and walking by or sitting on the steps of Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. He was arrested and the judge ruled that the photographs taken did not violate their privacy. Due to lack of appropriate case law and regulations, many business establishments, both public and private, are enacting their own rules when dealing with customers or clients using such devices. Many business establishments started...

...This report will review an organisations approach to collecting, storing and using HR data. It covers the reasons why an organisations needs to collect HR data, types of data it collects and how it supports HR, different methods of storing information and their benefit and UK legislation relating to the recording, storage and access to HR data. 1.1. Reasons why organisations collect, store and record data There are many reasons why organisations need to collect data, from ensuring legal requirements are met, providing relevant information in decision making and planning and for health and safety purposes and so on. Data needed to support the organisation’s planning and decision making, is done at 3 levels; strategic, tactical and operational. Strategic information is used at the very top level of management and it is this level that is responsible for all legal requirements such as tax issues and payroll (Martin and Jackson 2005) Tactical information is used by middle management and they use the information gathered from the Operational level to produce reports on performance, absence by department and so on. The lowest level of management or workers implements operational plans and it is this level that collects the data which is used to make information for the strategic and tactical levels such as personal contact details and absence. 1.2. Two types of data collected and how they support HR Practices Data refers to raw or unprocessed facts or observations which have...
